Burning a disk image on a CD or DVD

You can use Disk Utility to burn a disk image on a recordable CD or DVD disc. You might do this to make a backup copy of your files, which you can use to restore the files on a hard disk. You can also use CDs and DVDs to move files from one computer to another or send them to other people.

  1. In Disk Utility, drag the disk image you want to use to the Disk Utility window if the disk image doesn't appear in the list.
  2. Select the disk image and click Burn.
  3. Insert a recordable CD or DVD disc into the optical drive of your computer and follow the onscreen instructions.
